The The's Soul Mining came out in 1983; it's one of those albums that instantly takes me back to university days, my late teens, the works. I still listen to it, and indeed coughed up some coins for a boxed reissue that came out a few years ago. It might have been the Newfoundlander in me, but the fiddle and accordion on This Is The Day (not to mention the oh-so-world-weary lyrics by Matt Johnson, who is not much older than I am!) still make me tap my toes.
